A new hex I worked out, it's a hex for welcoming!
Brown for fertile ground for growing bonds. Blue for abundant showers to bring life and yellow for vibrancy! Distlefinks for luck and happiness.

Yesterday we got to go to a crafting party. We learned about the history of Hex Signs. I marveled that we were just in Lancaster, PA! I wanted a sign but couldn't decide on one. So I made a Maryland inspired one. Anna did two signs.
